My invention relates to laundering and has for its object to providemeans for suspending a sadiron from an ironing board.

Another object of this invention is to provide an adjustable holder fora sadiron.

A further object of my invention is to provide means supported by Ianironing board for holding a hot iron.

Other features and advantages will become more readily apparent from thefollowing description and the accompanying illustrative drawings inwhich:

Figure 1 is a perspective View of my invention,

Figure 2 is a broken away end of an ironing board embracing my ironholder,

Figure 3 is a similar view showing the holder in adjusted position, and

Figure 4 is a perspective view of an ironing board embracing myinvention and illustrating its application.

In the above drawings as well as in the speciflcation to follow, thesame -characters of reference indicate the same parts throughout.

in the accompanying drawings, i3 indicates my invention which consistsof a short iron bracket Il of U-shape and provided with horizontallydisposed flanges l2 and I3 turned out from the upper ends IQ and I5 ofits arms i3 and I?. The flanges are provided with bores i3 and I9 toreceive the screw ends of bolts 23 and 2i (shown dotted) which projectthrough the butt end 22 of an ironing board 23, the heads 2t of thebolts being countersunk in the upper face 25 of the board.

The said arms I6 and I1 are provided with oppcsitely disposed squareopenings 26 and 2l, the lower ends of which are on a common plane withthe inner surface 28 of the plate 29 of the member Il. Slidably mountedupon said plate and through said openings is a square rod 33 having a,stop pin 3l on its inner end 32. The outer end 33 of member 30 has anupwardly inclined end 34 at an angle of about 90 and which is adapted toform a hook to receive the handle of a sadiron adapted to be hung there.A spring 35 has one end 36 i'lxed to the arm It and is provided with acurved lower end 3l bearing upon the upper face 38 of the bar 3B. Thesaid spring end 31 is adapted to drop into the groove 39 in said face 38when the bar 30 is drawn outward its full extensible length to hold thebar 20 advanced until again pushed in against the tension of the spring.When the said bar is drawn out its terminal 34 is far enough beyond saidend 22 to permit of hanging Ian iron 40 thereon,

- but when not in use, it is pushed in so that said terminal will beunder the end 22 and thus out of the way. This provision of this gadgetwill prevent the burning of ironing pads, clothes, etc., and alsoprevent the possibility of the iron sliding from the board and onto thefoot of the user.

It is thought that persons skilled in the art to which the inventionrelates will be able to obtain a clear understanding of the inventionafter considering the description in connection with the drawings.Therefore, a more lengthy description is regarded as unnecessary.

Changes in shape, size and rearrangement of details and parts such ascome within the purview of the invention claimed may be resorted to, inactual practice, if desired.

Having now described my invention, that which I claim as new and desireto procure by Letters Patent is:

1. A ilatiron holder comprising a U-shaped body member formed withoppositely disposed parallel ends terminating in outwardly directedapertured attaching ilanges, said ends having aligned rectangularbearing apertures formed therethrough, a flatiron supporting barslidably disposed through said bearing apertures with one surfacethereof contacting the connecting portion of said body member, a hook onthe outer end of said bar, means on the inner end of said i bar forlimiting the outward adjustment thereof, and means for automaticallylocking said bar in extended position.

2. A flatiron holder comprising a U-shaped body member formed withoppositely disposed parallel ends terminating in outwardly directedapertured attaching flanges, said ends having aligned rectangularbearing apertures formed therethrough, a atiron supporting bar slidablydisposed through said bearing apertures with one surface thereofcontacting the connecting portion of said body member, a hook on theouter end of said bar, means on the inner end of said bar for limitingthe outward adjustment thereof, means for automatically locking said barin extended position including a transverse locking groove formed insaid bar, and a resilient arcuate locking nger on said body memberautomatically engageable in said groove when said rod is in extendedposition.
